Another Sadlynaut Does AlterNet
I did an Alternet thingy about wingnut pundits’ predictable take on the financial crisis. Sample:
Actually, forget the “liberty” and “freedom” euphemisms wingnuts smear on their dented and creased vehicles of propaganda like so much Bondo. Why not? Francis Cianfrocca certainly forgets such safe and traditional (and mendacious to the point of Orwellian) euphemisms and goes for the gusto: Greed is goo — well, screw it, this is better left in his own words, which read like Ayn Rand’s “The Virtue of Selfishness” translated into middlebrow douchebagese:
[T]he United States under Barack Obama may be taking a hatchet to a pillar of the American social contract, which is that Americans should be free of encumbrance in their pursuit of private wealth.
Thus the social contract is defined by one of those people who believes there “is no such thing as society.” I especially like Cianfrocca’s disingenuous quoting of Lincoln, who was in reality about as much a laissez-faire man as he was a Confederate.
Please show it and AlterNet some love by showing the quoted and referenced wingnuts some hate. Gracias!
Hey, man, I don’t think it’s cool that you say we should show ’em some hate, dude. We’re all like um, brothers, you know? Mutual respect, man. Mutual respect.
~Reads Links~
Goddamn but those people are some fucking stupid, greedy douchebags.
Isn’t hatchet to a pillar a mixed metaphor? My douchbagese is rusty, though.
I suppose it would depend on whether the pillar is made of wood. Insert PENIS joke here.
Bravo, HTML. That’s a nice ride on a hobbyhorse I’ve been flogging lately – which is what the “ideology” and every imaginable policy prescription of the Republicans essentially boils down to – this idea that the highest calling of “democracy” is to enslave ourselves to a handful of people who own everything. And it needs to be said a lot more often and openly to expose what an oxymoron it is: democracy = the freedom of the people to vote to be serfs to the rich and powerful.
Now I’m going to go bang my head against the wall because there are about 30% of our fellow citizens who have bought into the idea.
Boy, I bet it feels good being free of encumbrances like caring about whose lives you ruin or who you leave living in squalor. Assuming you’re a soulless dick, that is. Otherwise I’d think you’d feel kind of bad.
I prefer to leave the hating to the wingnuts.
not trying to suck up Menkin, but you should be paid well for this kind of stuff, well written, intelligent and funny. Why the Atlantic hasn’t picked you up is a mystery…
and completely off topic, while browsing in my local bookshop today, I noticed an very out of print book called “The Romance of Ayn Rand” with a cheezy romance cover. Unfortunately, its only 4.30 here and I wasn’t stoned enough to buy it….
I read an article somewhere on the Intertubes awhile back about sociopathy and how well sociopaths fitted into the bid’ness environment – bascially being willing to pursue a goal without concern for consequences is more similar to, say, being a serial killer, than most people would like to admit. Plus their ability with people to lie and scam while being personable is an asset in dealing with people, either if you want to make money or turn them into a leather vest.
Wanting to be free of encumbrance in the pursuit of private benefit – how does that not describe someone like Jeffrey Dahmer?
there are about 30% of our fellow citizens who have bought into the idea.
Nah. They’ve bought something all right, but I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with ideas.
I see you’re using a fake name over there.
I demand to see the vault copy of your birth certificate.
is the picture fake too, looks a lot more brushed Menken than I expected…
I read an article somewhere on the Intertubes awhile back about sociopathy and how well sociopaths fitted into the bid’ness environment
This was the thesis of the book and movie “The Corporation.” Of course, the docuhebags in question look at that book as a how-to guide.
is the picture fake too
Am I missing something? The only picture I see is an ad for Chomsky…and I’m reasonably certain HTML M is not Chomsky.
Each to his own, Sirius, ol’ sun. [/pun] As for myself, I spring from a long line of folks who took pride in the intensity of loathing they harbored for those they identified as “scum of the earth” types. My own sainted Mother, the greatest Nixon-hater I ever knew, and I’m pretty old, used to say to me and my brothers that her grandmother was a lady who “if she didn’t like you, she didn’t just wish you dead… she wished you dead and in Hell!“
Since I personally am not able to believe in Hell as a venue for karmic account-balancing, I am of the firm opinion that justice, if any is even possible, must be meted out before the guilty have shuffled off their mortal coil; and with the longest human life being pitifully short at best, there is no time to waste being nice and polite and civil to those people that, by my own considered judgement, deserve to be dead and in Hell. The “in Hell” part not being availabe, I will (grudgingly) settle for the “wishing them dead” part.
If that makes me the sort of bad sort of person with whom you would not personally wish to associate yourself, fine: write your snark till the cows come home. Now, please do excuse me, as I have to work out some diabolical schemes to make a few wishes come true. Adios!

Love how Douthat channels Draco Malfoy in “The Sorcerer’s Stone”: “My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford.” Though I suppose there’s something to be said for NOT having more children than you can afford. I wonder how many brothers and sisters Douthat has…
Ha ha, I getit, “please don’t dou that!!!”
I would also like to take another tiny moment to point out that we crazy fringe lefties writing and reading and speaking screeds 20 years ago about how all this “New Economy” and “financial modernization” stuff was crap — we were right then, and we’re still correct now?
But I guess the left really is cursed to be Cassandra — to speak the truth, and even prophesy, and be correct, but be believed to by no one.
Well, that’s not quite an accurate analogy, because the establishment does spend a lot of time and resources lying about what we say, and creating alternate myths (‘we don’t need those 1930s financial regulations any more!’), instead of just ignoring us.
tl;dr troll is tl;dr.
Heh heh. Till said “Insert PENIS”. Heh.
I tried, but slot B was the wrong shape.
Jimmy Carter should have taken in the Shah, then delivered the Shah and all the other politicians and intelligence agency members who had overthrown the government of Mossadeqh and set up the murderous, torturing reign of the SAVAK to be tried for crimes against humanity, in the Hague.
Again, had these interfering bastards not proclaimed that once again they were destroying an elected government to save the world (they meant oil) from the Russians (they meant Iranians), they wouldn’t have set up Iran for the rule of the Ayatollahs anyway.
But since the U.S. foreign policy establishment loves, loves, loves slaughtering Arabs and Muslims for Freedom, they couldn’t let such an opportunity pass.
“James Earl Obama?” is why they invented the scroll wheel on the mouse.
THIS… is CNN.
Luke…I am your father.
“Wanting to be free of encumbrance in the pursuit of private benefit – how does that not describe someone like Jeffrey Dahmer?”
I think the answer is: “Private wealth is the solution to all problems. Only collectivists believe in group action via government.”
When you ask what’s wrong with collective action, the logic seems to go like this: “Marxists were collectivists therefore all liberals are Karl Marx.”
Troof. I am your president.
Nooooo!!!
Simba, you have forgotten me.
I am woman; hear my baritone.
You must avenge my death Kimba… er, Simba!
I am Sparticus!
It all boils down to defining all value based on market value. Wealth == virtue. Prestige, advancement, intelligence, creativity, influence– all of it is determined based on financial profit. If you can’t capitalize it, it doesn’t count.
They suck the working class and poor Fundies into the game with variations of what some churches call the “Prosperity Gospel”. If you’re a good little obedient christian, god will “bless” you materially. The converse, though its rarely said explicitly, holds too: if you aren’t prospering, it means there is “sin in your tent”. It follows that rich people are manifestly more virtuous (“look at all the blessings!”) while poor people are inherently morally suspect. Also, by fighting against (or more heavily taxing) the accumulation of wealth you are warring against the blessings of virtue and by extension, god himself.
Its some twisted shit.
Those Iranians are up to something, please please blow them up? I’m running out of underwear!!!
I AM SO AFRAID!
SEE??? SEEEEEEE????? EVEN MY SHADOW IS A DARKIE!!!
mommy, mommy, mommy
You killed my snake. Thorgrim is beside himself with grief!
“You must avenge my death Kimba… er, Simba!”
Oh, come on. That wasn’t even one of my lines in that movie. How about this: “Peace, love, *dope*”? Now get the *hell* out of here!
Out! Back to the sixties! Back! There’s no place for you here in the future! Get back while you still can!
“Major Kong – Could this be some kind of loyalty test?”
Troofie, you have disgraced yourself, and you must be punished. Confine yourself to our royal suite at the Waldorf-Astoria. And see that you put on some decent attire. And I want you to bathe thoroughly.
I’m going to beat you with a crowbar until you go away.
See! This is why we need nym changing allowed.
I didn’t get the job because I look like a lion. I got the job because I can read the words on the page and say them out loud.
LOVED the article! hate is seldom, but sometimes, justifiedand can be a motivator.
Have you guys noticed (and you probably have) Mr. Cut & Pasta’s transition recently from bog-standard Libertarian bullshit to outright Whitey Frighty Stormfront-type bigotry?
I realize judging the present conservative mindset from trollish douchbaggery is not necessarily valid… but it makes me wonder.
Thomas Jefferson, I am your father.
That article the scroll troll copypasted was from The American Stinker. He rightly doubts that anyone here would be so foolish as to click on a link to that source, so he has kindly made the text available, so that we can not-read the shit here, without getting any stink on us! That’s right neighborly, troll. Anything that avoids giving The Stink a page hit is cool.
Yes.

Memo From The Midwest, By Dave Gorak
Spanish—The New Conquistadors Reach For the Midwest
In a Feb. 13 Chicago Tribune story, House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) said of President Bush’s proposed overhaul of the Social Security system, “You can’t jam change down the American people’s throat.”
Don’t bother telling that to our mainstream media and a growing number of major corporations like Atlanta-based The Home Depot Inc., the nation’s largest home improvement company, and the floundering Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Schaumburg, IL (which used to be the world’s largest retailer). They’ve all jumped aboard the “Let’s ALL learn Spanish” bandwagon – and they’re trying to force the rest of us to join them.
This is another infuriating aspect of our greed-driven immigration policy, which doesn’t get enough attention: having to tolerate someone else’s language being forced on us every day.
Major corporations like Sears and Home Depot have decided that bilingual business is good business and, accordingly, added English/Spanish signage in their stores.
Sales announcements are often repeated in Spanish as well. (A call to the headquarters of both companies to complain about the force-feeding of Spanish to ALL customers will get you a very polite, “We appreciate your comments.”)
Naturally, the nation’s Pavlovian media, which can never write about illegal aliens without portraying them as victims suffering from the plight of having to avoid local law enforcement personnel, also has decided that any attempt to welcome Spanish-speaking immigrants will fail unless we all learn to hablar a few words of their language.
With increasing frequency (and to varying degrees), the print media has taken to peppering their stories and headlines with Spanish words in an attempt (they say) “to encourage Hispanics to learn English.”
Just how does that work…learn English by using Spanish?
In the Jan. 5 edition of the Washington Post, “Where the Accion Is” informs readers about how Ironworkers Local 5 recruit Latinos with small cards written in Spanish:
“Viva Mejor,” the postcard message began. “Ironworkers como usted mercen algo mejor – – “Live Better. Ironworkers like you deserve better.”
A week later (Jan. 13), an Arizona Republic editorial under the headline Viva, ASU! lauded the appointment of Raul Yzaguirre, the former president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza (The Race), to the Arizona State University faculty.
Yzaquirre’s arrival, said the editorial, eased “the fears of young Latinos” who were worried that ASU “might close doors of opportunity” following its announcement of a restructuring program.
“In its abrazo (embrace) of Yzaguirre, ASU moves toward a brighter tomorrow for Arizona’s Latinos.”
But a more blatant example of pandering to Hispanics showed up during the Christmas holidays in the Evansville (IN) Courier & Press.
In a six-part series called “Becoming Una Communidad” that gushed over the glory and predicted the inevitability of mass immigration and diversity, the Dec. 26-31 editions of the Courier & Press ran 13 stories under these headlines:
* It’s about hambre grande
* La Ciudad says ‘HOLA’
* ‘Mobile consulate’ gives Hispanics uno mano
* Una batalla for driver’s licenses
* Las luchas de health hit hard
* Seeking Dios, Seeking Spanish
* Una mujer is reaching out
* For la policia, it’s about ‘Survival Spanish’
* Diferencias culturales complicate police work
* Los Juzgados
* Las escuelas strive to welcome Hispanics
* Ending aislamiento
* Response critica as Hispanic community grows
[Vdare.Com note: See here for one man’s reply.]
Here’s how Linda Negro (e-mail her), the Courier & Press’ features editor, explained her paper’s decision:
“Our decision to include Spanish in the headlines was not at all to give any new immigrant permission or to suggest they didn’t need to learn the English language . . .
It was merely our way of extending our hand and saying, yes, we notice you, yes, we realize how difficult a transition you have. The series was about the impact –and a large one they are having on our economy and the flavor of our community . . .we believe it was actually an inducement to them to learn our language.
We thought it also served our English-speaking readers who might want to learn some few words in another language (you’ll note the translation was included on each) and might want to communicate with those still struggling.”
Negro went on to say that using Spanish also helped “tie the series together and made it stand out” from the rest of the newspaper’s contents.
ProEnglish Executive Director K.C. McAlpin sees things differently:
“The inclination to pander to Hispanic immigrants by sprinkling headlines and news stories with Spanish words needs to be seen for what it is: A deeply patronizing attitude whose real purpose is to make its authors feel tolerant, and therefore morally superior to others. It is insulting to immigrants, who overwhelmingly want to learn English and become fully capable of managing on their own.”
And it also is highly insulting, McAlpin adds, to previous generations of immigrants who
“Eagerly paid the price (learning English) for the privilege of immigrating to the greatest country in the world.”
But there is a much more important reason for Americans to resent a drift to bi-lingualism. As Peter Brimelow points out, bi-lingualism favors those who are bi-lingual. That excludes most native born Americans, who are heading for second class status in their own country.
Dave Gorak [email him] is the executive director of the Midwest Coalition to Reduce Immigration in LaValle, WI. Read his VDARE.COM archive here.
The views expressed here are his, and they do not necessarily reflect those held by members of his organization or its board of advisors. Or, for that matter, VDARE.COM.
The fact is, tl;dr here in the Heartland.
There’s a reason we call it the heart-land. It’s because the brain isn’t here.
Is it wrong that I’m still periodically checking my front yard for hawt falling Brazillians?
Come on, it’s the 21st century. You don’t need to check yourself, just buy a barometer.
And let the barometer have all the fun?

Whoa, where’s the fire, cowboy?
Here’s Teh Funny on soaking the rich:
House Democrats agreed yesterday to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for a sweeping expansion of the nation’s health-care system, proposing a surtax on the highest earners that could send the top federal tax rate toward 45 percent.
Beginning in 2011, the plan would target all income over $350,000 a year for families and $280,000 a year for individuals, Democratic sources said. The surtax would start at 1 percent, rise to around 1.5 percent for families earning more than $500,000, then step up again, to around 3 percent, for families earning more than $1 million, Democrats said.
That would raise about $550 billion over the next decade, Democrats said — about half the cost of reforms that are expected to cost about $1 trillion. The surtax percentages could rise two years later, they added, if lawmakers think additional cash is needed to cover the cost of health-care reform.
Bring it, loser.
Not aimed at Jennifer, obviously.
RESTORATION OF PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE TO SAVE BRITAIN MEANS RELIGION MUST GUIDE US AGAIN OR WE ARE LOST

Just type the word “NIGGERS” and leave. It makes the same point in much less time.
what the fuck does Cut & Pasta hope to achieve
Three second of blessed relief followed by a change of undies.
Oh, speaking of which: sup-prise sur-prise, Mr. “Change the Complexion” denies racism:
HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pennsylvania (CNN) — The president of The Valley Swim Club on Friday strongly denied charges of racism after his club canceled the swimming privileges of a nearby day care center whose children are predominantly African-American.
“It was never our intention to offend anyone,” said John Duesler. “This thing has been blown out of proportion.”
Duesler said his club — which he called “very diverse” — invited camps in the Philadelphia area to use his facility because of the number of pools in the region closed due to budget cuts this summer. He said he underestimated the amount of children who would participate, and the club’s capacity to take on the groups was not up to the task.
“It was a safety issue,” he said.
Yeah, it was just a goddamn coinkydink that the kids who threaten to “overcrowd” his pool are black. No racism there, nosirree.

Yes, you can tell the liberals in this country by the way they walk around with teleprompters permanently set out in front of them. Why I ran into one in a store the other day, as she was paying no attention to where she was going. ‘Course she claimed it was a “book”, but I knew better!

As a more non-censorious option, automatic disemvowelment of the entire post after the 10,001st character would definitely lighten shit up in regards to anyone being mega-prolix screen-hogs, be they friend or troll.

When you ask what’s wrong with collective action, the logic seems to go like this: “Marxists were collectivists therefore all liberals are Karl Marx.”
Christian antipathy to collective action is why there are no churches or Christian organizations and why only the vastly wealthy become missionaries.
I’ll never admit it, but I’m really the final evolutionary product of the extra-nervous protohominid who was always going “squee, squee, squee” whenever it saw a shadow of a bird going by.

The Obama Tapestry is one of the most important pictorial works surviving from the middle ages, and certainly the most important from the eleventh century. It is not really a tapestry, but an embroidery of colored wool on an unbleached linen background. It comprises a series of connected panels two hundred and three feet in length, with each of the panels about eighteen inches high. Much of what we know about its origins is a matter of guesswork. It was almost certainly the work of English embroiderers, and was most probably produced in the famous embroidery works of Winchester. The best guess is that it was commissioned by Odo, bishop of Obama, William the Conqueror’s half-brother, and one of the leading figures in the invasion of England. It was perhaps completed on 1077 in time for the consecration of the new cathedral at Obama. Or perhaps it was finished in 1083. Historians can argue endlessly about such things. Some have suggested that it was hung around the nave of Obama cathedral on feast days, but it doesn’t seem to have made for that specific purpose since it is not long enough to reach completely around the nave.
During the French Revolution, it was hauled out to cover a wagon-load of ammunition being sent to the northern front where the Republican French were being attacked by Monarchist enemies. A young lawyer of Obama pulled the tapestry from the wagon and replaced it with a oiled and waterproof cloth much better suited for the purpose. He carried the tapestry home, and hid it in his attic, where it remained for the next thirty years. When it as brought out, it was turned over to the bishop of Obama, who placed it in the bishop’s palace. It has remained there, except for a short time when the Nazis took it to Paris for scientific examination. The bishop’s palace is now a museum in which the tapestry is on permanent display and viewed by thousands of visitors a year. Americans form a large portion of the crowds, since the beaches on which US troops landed on 6 June 1944 to begin the Allied invasion of Europe lie only a couple of miles north of Obama and there is a large cemetery of American war dead not too far away.
The first half of the Tapestry depict the adventures of Harold Godwinson, who was wrecked in Ponthieu in 1064 and was ransomed from the count of Ponthieu by William, duke of Normandy (1046-1087). Its portrayal of these events is entirely from the Norman point of view and serves as a justification of William’s invasion and conquest of England in the Autumn of 1066. Harold is portrayed as a usurper who foreswore his sacred oath to support William as the successor to Edward the Confessor, king of England.
The second half shows William’s preparations for the invasion of England, the decisive battle of Hastings — in which Harold was killed — and ends with the retreat of the defeated English. The last part, perhaps some twenty-five feet, of the Tapestry is incomplete, and its account may have continued to the point at which William was crowed king at Westminster Abbey, near London. Since this was apparently the place pictured in the first panel, such a conclusion would had a significant symmetry. The entire work would then have commenced with old King Edward seated in state at Westminister and would have concluded with the new King William seated in state at the same place. This is entirely guesswork, however. One of the advantages of missing or incomplete documents is that they offer some scope for the exercise of one’s imagination.
One cannot use the Tapestry as a source for political history, since it is biased, and also because it is a very complex “document.” The upper and lower borders are mostly simply decoration, but sometimes show scenes that may be comments upon or clarifications of the story unfolding in the middle section. Some of these scenes can be identified as being from the Bible or Aesop’s Fables, but the sources of others are unknown and the significance of the scenes obscure at best. One might use as an example, the panel that portrays Harold and his men eating and drinking in an upper room while waiting for a fair wind to the Continent. The Norman account of these events claims that King Edward had told Harold to go to Norman and announce to Duke William that the childless Edward wish William to succeed him as king of England. Harold, however was not only the greatest noble on England but was also ambitious. It was not difficult for his followers to convince him not to reveal King Edward’s will to Duke William, to bide his time, and – as soon as Edward was dead – to seize the royal treasury at Winchester and have himself crowned king.
There is nothing in the human figures or in the text to suggest that this was what was going on, but a small picture in the lower border clearly suggests that this was the case. The picture is that of an ungainly bird sitting in a tree under which an animal (a leopard judging by its spots) is lying. They are looking at each other with their mouths open, and there is some object in the air between them. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize the scene.
The Fox and the Crow
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. “That’s for me, as I am a Fox,” said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. “Good-day, Mistress Crow,” he cried. “How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.” The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. “That will do,” said he. “That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future.
“Do not trust flatterers.”
Although the tapestry portrays a leopard in place of a fox, the moral is the same and the reason for pointing to this particular fable at this particular place is quite clear. Harold’s vanity would lead him to try to be what he was not and, as a consequence, to lose everything he held dear.
The Tapestry is most revealing in its details. One can see how a castle was built and discover that they were originally wooden stockades constructed on artificial mounds, trace the process of building warships from the felling of the trees to the launching of the vessels, view Edward, king of England, sitting in state at Westminster long before there was a Parliament sitting there, watch the death of a king and the coronation of a usurper, see a a bunch of soldiers pillaging the countryside, and many other things. Even better, many of the places pictured in the tapestry still exist and can be compared with their depiction in the Tapestry. A comparison of the the tapestry’s depiction of the famous monastery of Mt.-St.-Michel with a modern photograph of the same place can be a great help in understanding how the designer of the tapestry pictured the world about him (or her). It would be well worth your time to study the scenes portrayed in the Obama Tapestry carefully. They offer a rare glimpse into the lives of both high and low in northwestern Europe in the middle of the eleventh century.
There is a great deal of material on the web about the tapestry and the events it portrays. Perhaps the best coverage is provided by the Introduction to the Battle-1066 site [www.battle1066.com/intro.shtml].

YEAH LIBERALS CALLED BUSH HITLER AND THEN COMPLAIN WHEN WE CRITICISZE THERE GOD, THE ONE…. AND HIS FAMILY IS FAIR GAME, AND WHY ARE MINORITES WANTING SPECIAL RIGHTS, WHAT ABOUT REGULAR PEOPLE WHERE ARE ARE SPECIAL RIGHTS
So, are you liberals sorry you ever compared Bush to Hitler? Payback’s a bitch.
And what about all the liberals who talked about killing Bush, like Nicholson Baker?

“Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century.”
– Robert Carlton, Ph.D, former EPA scientist, 1992
The history of forcing fluoride on humans through the fluoridation of drinking water is wrought with lies, greed and deception. Governments that add fluoride to drinking water supplies insist that it is safe, beneficial and necessary, however, scientific evidence shows that fluoride is not safe to ingest and areas that fluoridate their drinking water supplies have higher rates of cavities, cancer, dental fluorosis, osteoporosis and other health problems. Because of the push from the aluminum industry, pharmaceutical companies and weapons manufacturers, fluoride continues to be added to water supplies all over North America and due to recent legal actions against water companies that fluoridate drinking water supplies, precedent has been set that will make it impossible for suits to be filed against water suppliers that fluoridate. There is a growing resistance against adding toxic fluoride to our water supplies, but unfortunately, because fluoride has become “the lifeblood of the modern industrial economy”(Bryson 2004), there is too much money at stake for those who endorse water fluoridation . The lies of the benefits of water fluoridation will continue to be fed to the public, not to encourage health benefits to a large number of people, but to profit the military-industrial complex.
The story begins in 1924, when Interessen Gemeinschaft Farben (I.G. Farben), a German chemical manufacturing company, began receiving loans from American bankers, gradually leading to the creation of the huge I.G. Farben cartel. In 1928 Henry Ford and American Standard Oil Company (The Rockefellers) merged their assets with I.G. Farben, and by the early thirties, there were more than a hundred American corporations which had subsidiaries and co-operative understandings in Germany. The I.G. Farben assets in America were controlled by a holding Company, American I.G. Farben, which listed on it’s board of directors: Edsel Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, Chas. E. Mitchell, President of Rockerfeller’s National City Bank of New York, Walter Teagle, President of Standard Oil New York, Paul Warburg, Chairman of the federal reserve and brother of Max Warburg, financier of Germany’s War effort, Herman Metz, a director of the Bank of Manhattan, controlled by the Warburgs, and a number of other members, three of which were tried and convicted as German war criminals for their crimes against humanity. In 1939 under the Alted agreement, the American Aluminum Company (ALCOA), then the worlds largest producer of sodium fluoride, and the Dow Chemical Company transferred its technology to Germany. Colgate, Kellogg, Dupont and many other companies eventually signed cartel agreements with I.G. Farben, creating a powerful lobby group accurately dubbed “the fluoride mafia”(Stephen 1995).
At the end of World War II, the US government sent Charles Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in Germany. The German chemists told Perkins of a scheme which they had devised during the war and had been adapted by the German General Staff. The German chemists explained of their attempt to control the population in any given area through the mass medication of drinking water with sodium fluoride, a tactic used in German and Russian prisoner of war camps to make the prisoners “stupid and docile”(Stephen 1995). Farben had developed plans during the war to fluoridate the occupied countries because it was found that fluoridation caused slight damage to a specific part of the brain, making it more difficult for the person affected to defend his freedom and causing the individual to become more docile towards authority. Fluoride remains one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances known, and is contained in twenty-five percent of the major tranquilizers. It may not seem surprising that Hitler’s regime practiced the concept of mind control through chemical means, but the American military continued Nazi research, exploring techniques to incapacitate an enemy or medicate an entire nation. As stated in the Rockerfeller Report, a Presidential briefing on CIA activities, “the drug program was part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of controlling human behavior”(Stephen 1995).
The ‘dental caries prevention myth’ associated with fluoride, originated in the United States in 1939, when a scientist named Gerald J. Cox, employed by ALCOA, the largest producer of toxic fluoride waste and at the time being threatened by fluoride damage claims, fluoridated some lab rats, concluded that fluoride reduced cavities and claimed that it should be added to the nation’s water supplies. In 1947, Oscar R. Ewing, a long time ALCOA lawyer, was appointed head of the Federal Security Agency , a position that placed him in charge of the Public Health Service(PHS). Over the next three years, eighty-seven new American cities began fluoridating their water, including the control city in a water fluoridation study in Michigan, thus eliminating the most scientifically objective test of safety and benefit before it was ever completed.
American ‘education and research’ was funded by the Aluminum Manufacturing, Fertilizer and Weapons Industry looking for an outlet for the increasingly mounting fluoride industrial waste while attaining positive profit increase. The ‘discovery’ that fluoride benefited teeth, was paid for by industry that needed to be able to defend “lawsuits from workers and communities poisoned by industrial fluoride emissions” (Bryson 1995) and turn a liability into an asset. Fluoride, a waste constituent in the manufacturing processes of explosives, fertilizers and other ‘necessities’, was expensive to dispose of properly and until a ‘use’ was found for it in America’s water supplies, the substance was only considered a toxic, hazardous waste. Through sly public re-education, fluoride, once a waste product, became the active ingredient in fluorinated pesticides, fungicides, rodenticides, anesthetics, tranquilizers, fluorinated pharmaceuticals, and a number of industrial and domestic products, fluorinated dental gels, rinses and toothpastes. Fluoride is so much a part of a multibillion-dollar industrial and pharmaceutical income, that any withdrawal of support from pro-fluoridationists is financially impossible, legally unthinkable and potentially devastating for their career and reputation.
Funded by US industrialists, in an attempt to encourage public acceptance of fluoride, Edward Bernays, known also as the father of PR, or the original spin doctor, began a campaign of deception to persuade public opinion. Barnays explained “you can get practically any idea accepted if doctors are in favour. The public is willing to accept it because a doctor is an authority to most people, regardless of how much he knows or doesn’t know”(Bryson 2004). Doctors who endorsed fluoridation didn’t know that research discrediting fluoride’s safety was either suppressed or not conducted in the first place. Fluoride became equated with scientific progress and since it was introduced to the public as a health-enhancing substance, added to the environment for the children’s sake, those opposing fluoride were dismissed as cranks, quacks and lunatics. Fluoride became impervious to criticism because of a relentless PR offensive, but also because of it’s overall toxicity. Unlike chemicals that have a signature effect, fluoride, a systemic poison, produces a range of health problems, so it’s effects are more difficult to diagnose.
Recently declassified US Military documents such as Manhattan Project, shows how Fluoride is the key chemical in atomic bomb production and millions of tonnes of it were needed for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium. Fluoride poisoning, not radiation poisoning, emerged as the leading chemical health hazard for both workers and nearby communities. A-bomb scientists were ordered to provide evidence useful for defense in litigation, so they began secretly testing fluoride on unsuspecting hospital patients and indignant, mentally retarded children.. “The August 1948 Journal of the American Dental Association shows that evidence of adverse effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic Energy Commission for reasons of “national security” (Griffiths 1998). The only report released stated that fluoride was safe for humans in small doses.
During the Cold War, Dr. Harold C. Hodge, who had been the toxicologist for the US Army Manhattan Project, was the leading scientific promoter of water fluoridation. While Dr. Hodge was reassuring congress of the safety of water fluoridation, he was covertly conducting one of the nation’s first public water fluoridation experiments in Newburgh, New York, secretly studying biological samples from Newburgh citizens at his US laboratory at the University of Rochester. Since there are no legal constraints against the suppression of scientific data, the only published conclusion resulting from these experiments was that fluoride was safe in low doses, a profoundly helpful verdict for the US Military who feared lawsuits for fluoride injury from workers in nuclear power plants and munitions factories. Fluoride pollution was one of the biggest legal worries facing key US industrial sectors during the cold war. A secret group of corporate attorneys, known as the Fluorine Lawyers Committee, whose members included US Steel, ALCOA, Kaiser Aluminum, and Reynolds Metals, commissioned research at the Kettering Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati to “provide ammunition”(Bryson 2004) for those corporations who were fighting a wave of citizen claims for fluoride injury. The Fluorine Lawyers Committee and their medical ambassadors were in personal and frequent contact with the senior officials of the federal National Institute for Dental Research, and have been implied in the ‘burying’ of the forty year old Kettering study, which showed that fluoride poisoned the lungs and lymph nodes in laboratory animals. Private interests, sought to destroy careers and censor information by ensuring that scientific studies raising doubts about the safety of fluoride never got funded, and if they did, never got published.
During the 1990’s, research conducted by Harvard toxicologist Phillis Mullenix showed that fluoride in water may lead to lower IQ’s, and produced symptoms in rats strongly resembling attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Just days before her research was accepted for publication, Mullenix was fired as the head of toxicology at the Forsyth Dental Center in Boston. Then her application for a grant to continue her fluoride and central nervous system research was turned down by the US National Institute of Health (NIH), when an NIH panel told her that “fluoride does not have central nervous system effects”(Griffiths 1998).
Despite growing evidence that it is harmful to public health, US federal and state public health agencies and large dental and medical organizations such as the American Dental Association (ADA), continue to promote fluoride. Water fluoridation continues, despite the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s own scientists, whose union, Chapter 280 of the National Treasury Employees Union, has taken a strong stand against it. Dr. William Hirzy, vice president of Chapter 280, stated that “fluoride (that is added to municipal water) is a hazardous waste product for which there is substantial evidence of adverse health effects and, contrary to public perception, virtually no evidence of significant benefits”( Mullenix 1998). Although fluoride is up to fifty times more toxic than sulfur dioxide, it is still not regulated as an air pollutant by the American Clean Air Act. Since thousands of tonnes of industrial fluoride waste is poured into drinking water supplies all over North America, supposedly to encourage gleaming smiles in our children, big industry in the US has the benefit of emitting as much fluoride waste into the environment as they like with absolutely no requirement to measure emissions and no way of being held accountable for poisoning people, animals and vegetation.
In August 2003, the EPA requested that the National Research Council, the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), re-evaluate water fluoride safety standards by reviewing recent scientific literature, because the last review in 1993 had major gaps in research. “Neither the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), nor the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR), nor the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has any proof on fluoride’s safety or effectiveness”(Sterling 1993). The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified fluoride as an unapproved dental medicament due to it’s high toxicity and the US National Cancer Institute Toxicological Program has found fluoride to be an “equivocal carcinogen” (Maurer 1990).
Currently the US government is continuing to introduce further fluoridation schemes throughout the country, including the Water Act passed in November 2003, which has made it impossible for water companies to undergo civil or criminal hearings as a result of adding fluoride to public water supplies.
In a society where products containing asbestos, lead, beryllium and many other carcinogens have been recalled from the marketplace, it is surprising that fluoride is embraced so thoroughly and blindly. It seems absurd that we would consider paying the chemical industry to dispose of their toxic waste by adding it to our water supply. Hiding the hazards of fluoride pollution from the public is a capitalist-style con job of epic proportions that has occurred because a powerful lobby wishes to manipulate public opinion in order to protect it’s own financial interests. “Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country… our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of” (Bernays 1991).

Reverend Kimberlimou Fay’s Peachy Otter Pretzel
Ingredients:
1 pound otter, broiled
5 teaspoons jittery cranberry, dressed
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, finely swirled
3 teaspoons slow kinkajou foot
1 stick coffee
1 jigger coffee
Pick over the ingredients blessedly and discard excess broken glass. Place the otter into a medium cup. Use a food processor to stir the Parmesan cheese with the cranberry. Stuff the resulting concoction into the otter. Find some milk and drink it. Whisk the kinkajou foot, coffee, and the coffee audaciously. Heap the latter combination on to the former. Bake for 61 minutes. Serves 6 spiritual individuals with hissing stomachs.
The great thing about the Obama kids being fair game for the wingnuts is the total FAIL. I mean really, “Oh NOES she’s wearing a peace sign on her shirt!!!111!!!!” may get the ‘base’ fired up, but the majority of the independents and even a fair number of moderate Rublicans will respond with “that’s cool.” Their attempts to make the kids look bad only makes the wingnuts look worse. So I say, yeah, the kids are fair game wingnuts…have at em.

You see, pedestrian, the reason that they could measure the IQ of the native populations of places where there haven’t been any “natives” for decades or even centuries is SHUT UP that’s why.
Isn’t truthie cute? don’t you all just want to pinch his butt?
And those native populations are nicely delinieated by country boundries and everything because the native populations made sure to stay inside those imaginary boundaries even before the boundaries were drawn.

Don’t worry, I never get sick of making up “facts”. The “facts” that support my central thesis – that I hate niggaz – are ones that I put in ALL CAPS.
I know that when I put something in ALL CAPS, it means that I am REALLY SERIOUS this time and not joking. In those cases, the shit I make up is REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT and SERIOUS and STUFF.
